    “ It's the end of the world and you're pregnant with someone else's baby, there's a plague coming and you're going to bury your husband in a bomb shelter. You know, same old, same old. A fascinating ride that has us hooked! ”

    “ Cricket Woman Mother Earth explores the anxiety caused by an overwhelming amount of access to terrifying, dehumanizing, and hope-killing news. As some tweet supposedly quoting someone's therapist said: our brains didn't evolve at the same rate as our technology, we are not built to handle this much daily trauma. The best moments in Cricket Woman question our tendency (especially in Trump! Era! Theatre!) to see current events as new, awful developments instead of more of the old, but the womb-horror aspects were a close second for me. More horror theatre, please! ”

    “ This play had me hooked (and repulsed) from the first few moments and didn’t let go. Despite all the darkness, the script is funny as hell, and a powerful, theatrical representation of the anxiety so many people are feeling these days. Aura is a GREAT role for a talented actor. I hope to see this on stage some day! ”

    “ Never has a descent into apopcyptic hell been such a fun ride. This is the female-driven political horror play the world needs right now. Would love to see this produced. ”

    “ Intense, wildly creepy, and entirely theatrical -- Aura and Billy's battle with each other, with a ruined world, and most of all with irritating crickets is gripping from first to last. This is a powerful look at the end of our planet, and a dissection of just how culpable we all are. Terrific. ”

    “ It is the Eugene O'Neill Theater Center's pleasure to recommend Tiffany Antone and their play CRICKET WOMAN MOTHER EARTH (or) A NASTY COMEUPPANCE as a finalist for our 2011 National Playwrights Conference. The play rose through a competitive, anonymous, multileveled selection process that took nearly nine months to execute. As one finalist out of hundreds of submissions, the strength of this play’s writing has allowed this work to prosper in such a competitive selection process. ”
